GAS-BRACKET STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 27, 1915.

Application filed May 15, 1914. Serial No. 838,846.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK E. BEN- NnrT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ulysses, borough of Lewisville, in the county of Potter and State of Pennsylvania,

have invented new and useful Improvements in Gas-Bracket Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is an improved gas bracket stove especially adapted for use in heating small rooms by natural gas but also to be used on any ordinary gas bracket and for use either for heating or for simple cooking purposes, the object of the invention being to provide an improved gas stove of this character which is extremely cheap and simple, is strong and durable and which requires practically no attention when in operation.

The invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of devices hereinafter described and claimed.

The accompanying drawing is partly an elevation and partly a central sectional view of a gas stove constructed in accordance with my invention.

In the embodiment of my invention I provide a stove body 1 which is preferably made of sheet iron and is preferably cylindrical in form and provided with a top 2 and a bottom 3. Air inlet openings 4: are in the wall of the body at a suitable distance above the bottom. The top 2 has a central opening 5 above which is a spreader plate 6 which is supported by bolts 7 provided with nuts 8, certain of the nuts being in the upper and lower sides of the top 2 and the others bearing directly against the under side of the spreader. The stove body has an opening 8 and a sliding door 9 to cover and uncover said opening.

A burner 10 is arranged in the center of the stove at a. suitable distance above the bottom and has a pipe 11 leading upwardly thereto and here shown as provided with air inlet openings 12 to form a combustible mixture of gas'and air supplied to the burner. This tube 11 is attached at its lower end to any ordinary gas bracket to support the stove or heater on the bracket and in an upright position. The tube 11 passes through a central opening in the bottom of the stove and also through a central opening in the yoke 13 secured to and reinforcing said bottom, and which is substantially U-shaped and secured on the under side of the stove bottom. An adjusting and clamping screw 14 operates in a threaded opening in one side of the yoke and it bears against the tube 11 to support and hold the burner in any desired adjusted position in the stove.

Having thus described my invention, I claim In a gas bracket stove, a body having a bottom and top, the latter having a central opening therein, a spreader plate supported above said opening, a yoke secured to and reinforcing said bottom, a burner arranged Within the body and having a gas feed and mixing tube extending downwardly therefrom and through said yoke for vertical adjustment therein, and an adjusting screw carriedby the yoke and engaging said tube for holding the latter in adjusted position.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

FREDERICK E. BENNETT.
